 I am currently playing around with the serial device
and would like the following question answered. Can anyone help?
 This is the problem: How do you check for Carrier Detect?
Assuming I have opened the serial.device properly, would the
following code work?
   
  Serial->IORser.io_Command = SRCMD_QUERY;
  DoIO(Serial);
  if(Serial->io_Status & `\040`)
     then carrier_detected = 1;
     else carrier_detected = 0;

Maybe some of the variable names are wrong (I don't have my code
handy right now), but I am doing the right thing?
